Can’t wait for him to snap a goal so we can say - the Ginger Nut Snaps!

    He did, in round 1.  It was awesome how the team got around him.

    I was going to start a new thread on this but I’ll just chuck a comment in here about it.

    I’m actually fine with the media/AFL spotlight being on other teams and players almost all the time ESPECIALLY when we are the team to beat. 
     

    I’d rather we fly under the radar and win the only thing that really counts for players: Premierships.

     

    I’d rather a Daicos get attention than Bowie for example, just let him do his thing without extra attention.
     

    However this might just be a reflection of me as a life long (36 years) dees supporter that’s easily spooked the year after finally winning a flag.

    Am I being overly paranoid about the bad effects lots of attention can do to a team? Is recognition better than being ignored for player/team confidence?

    Well done JB. Outstanding game considering the amount of experience we were missing in defence. 
    he is playing a senior role after 9 games…

    I don’t disagree in general, but I see Bowser as very grounded and unlikely to get a big head so very happy for him to receive all the plaudits he richly deserves.

    He has elite skills and decision making. It is so stark atm with our backline minus Lever, Petty, and Salem.

    From 'stop-gap', to Premiership player, to star player in a few months.  Unprecedented!

    Bloody Hell, he's still just a kid!

    I think it is all a bit of hype, just because of how much he looks like the perfect modern prototype footballer.

    If he ever gets injured we are stuffed. No Bowey no Melbourne. 

    Getting to the point that is not a joke anymore, so critical with Salem and Lever out.

    Two rising star nominations and a premiership medallion in 9 games.

    With an award every three games, it's quite possible he'll win the brownlow three times this year, the coleman medal, the norm smith and the rising star.

    Agree and watching the highlights of him is really quick off the first 5 steps. creates space so easily

    A joy to watch. Add him to the list of 2 who you completely relax when they have the ball (Sales and Bowey)

    Wow! Well done Jake Bowey!

    9 games and 9 wins so far. His calmness under pressure and his foot skills as well as his decision making is a pleasure to watch.

    He also has 2 NAB Rising Star nominations now and a 2021 AFL Premiership medallion to go with it!

    The most exciting thing is he will continue to get better and better as a footballer as he gains more AFL experience.

    Bluey Bowser has been fantastic for the Melbourne Demons so far! However, we definitely shouldn't forsake the profound impact (my favourite) Mark "Choco" Williams has had in developing these young players at the Melbourne Demons.

    Hate to put the Mozz on him but a win on the weekend makes him the most undefeated player ever. (Plus a flag, and the list of awards previously mentioned in this thread). Unfortunately this  cant last forever!

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
